Hot as hell Indraneil Sengupta deserves a pat on the back. The Tumhari Paakhi actor has successfully managed to kill his smoking addiction and has kicked the butt. Clap clap!!! He shunned the cancer sticks after letting it touch his lips for 13 long years. Indraneil said in an exclusive chat with Tellychakkar.com: “Initially I used to smoke a packet full of cigarettes then gradually I reduced it to six then four but I was never able to stop it completely. My wife Barkha (Bisht) kept telling me to quit but it never happened.” So what made you finally quit? “On my last birthday I went to Singapore for some work. Over there smoking is prohibited in certain areas and I stayed three days without smoking. Then I thought to myself that I can actually live without smoking and from that time I haven’t touched cigarettes.” How difficult was it to stop? “It was a bit difficult but I had promised myself to be nicotine free by 40.” So do you see any changes in yourself? “I have always exercised and followed a proper regime but yes after quitting smoking I feel much clean and healthy.” Indraneil…respect!!!
